The
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) released a list of undated handout pictures
on May 27, 2015. A color-changing thorny tree frog was among them.
In 2014, the species was discovered in the Greater Mekong Region,
which covers Cambodia, Laos, Burma, and Thailand. The thorny tree
frog is known as Gracixalus lumarius, is a kind of the rhacophoridae,
which is a family of frog species.
Although the skin of the color-changing frog is dull brown during
the day, its skin turns bright pink and yellow at night. Experts
are not sure how the thorny tree frog’s skin color changes. And,
they also wonder why this frog species has thorns, which look like
sandpaper, on their backs. The frog species is also known to lay
eggs in small pools of water inside plants to protect their babies
from predators.
